As I was surfing around the booking site, I saw this thing called “Try-sell”

It’s an option where, upon cancelling a booking, it is not really considered cancelled until someone takes up the booking you cancelled and you get a refund, or until you decide to take back the slot yourself.

So I decided to try it out. I thought I’d cancel my FTT test date and take it back immediately after. So I cancelled my booking.

And to my horror, the “Try-sell” option only works on practical bookings!

ARGH!!

And I don’t have enough in my BBDC account to book another date!

Double ARGH!!

But, as the saying goes, “Always look on the bright side of life.”

Tomorrow, during second break, I will run out of class and go to BBDC to

I had a long chat with my mom recently, and it brought to light a lot of things that I’ve never known or never felt I had the real answers to

I’ve always wondered why Grandma is so restrictive/(over) protective towards me. When I found out about the things her children got into in their younger days, all those wild stories and whatnot, I couldn’t really believe that their mom was the same Grandma that cocoons me from the outside world.

But it’s time I broke out of that cocoon. No, I’m not going to pick up smoking or drinking or go clubbing. But just open up myself more to the things that are going on out there. I’m sorry for whining about possibly going to work. I realise that I shouldn’t have. I’m going to put myself out there and even if I fail, it would be a learning experience. I’ll do whatever it takes, short of getting poked of course.
